What is Erbi90s.click ads?

Erbi90s.click attempts to impersonate a virus scan of a reputable vendor to profit from software purchases

Erbi90s.click is a scam website you should not download software from

Erbi90s.click is a deceptive site that you might be redirected to after clicking on a suspicious link or being rerouted by an automatic script while using Google Chrome, MS Edge, or another web browser. In some cases, adware infections could also cause these redirects. The main goal of the page is to scam users into believing that their systems are infested with multiple viruses so that they would purchase software licenses for security apps.

We do not recommend clicking on buttons or links hosted by Erbi90s.click scam, as you may end up losing money on services or software you don't need. Likewise, you might be redirected to a malicious website where you could be tricked into installing malware and infecting your system instead.

Upon entering the site, you may also be asked to enable push notifications, which would later deliver you ads and fake messages. We explain how to get rid of these pop-ups, as well as how to remove potentially unwanted applications^[1] that could be lurking on your system without you knowing.

Many criminals engage in online fraud because it is anonymous and easy to do. With the help of the internet, some people decide to play dirty and create phishing content in order to make more money. Phishing content is more effective than other forms of advertising in some cases, which makes it an attractive option for criminals.

There are various forms of scams out there, and technical support or fake virus infection scams remain among those most used. Erbi90s.click is not a unique site; in fact, we have already covered multiple others claiming that the system is infected (or is in danger) and security software needs to be purchased – Control-scanning.com, Alltimesecuritysystem.live, or Protectwatcher.xyz, are just a few examples.

Scammers imitate fake virus scanners

If you land on the website, you'll likely see several windows that resemble a system scan from McAfee. In just a few moments, you'll receive what appears to be harsh truth – your system is infected with multiple viruses. The full message reads as follows:

Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!
ACTION REQUIRED!

Your McAfee Subscription Has Expired!
Renew now to keep your pc protected.
If your PC is unprotected, it is at risk for viruses and other malware.

Also, you may be shown another pop-up on top, which closely resembles a Blue Screen of Death screen – something often done in social engineering^[2] attacks. All these elements, including the name of McAfee, are used in order to make the scheme more believable to users, so they would give in and proceed with the steps provided.

Erbi90s.click displays fake virus infection alerts

Soon after receiving this message, users are shown the “Renew subscription” or “Proceed” buttons (depending on the pop-up window people are viewing). Those who use them are then redirected to a software purchase page – allegedly to remove the found viruses.

This way, crooks can monetize the clicks and software downloads made by users via the affiliate links. Even if the promoted software might be legitimate, the people behind the scheme are scammers and shouldn't be rewarded for this activity.

To avoid being tricked, ensure you never listen to any notifications claiming that your system has been infected with viruses – no website can tell that, as legitimate security software needs to be installed on the system to diagnose it correctly. It is also not difficult to see how the URL of the page showing the face scan Erbi90s.click has nothing to do with McAfee or any other legitimate companies.

Adware removal

After you've landed on the Erbi90s.click scam website, the first step in repairing your computer is to check for adware. While everything displayed on the virus scan result page is fake, the possibility of adware infection remains, as these potentially unwanted apps are commonly used to expose users to phishing^[3] content and ads when browsing.

The most foolproof way to know if you have adware is by scanning your entire system with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes security software – this will delete all harmful components at once. Although you can try to get rid of useless programs manually, it is much faster and simpler to do so automatically.

Moreover, uninstalling some helpful programs could unintentionally end up doing more damage than good. That being said, once you're confident that your device doesn't have any malware or adware on it, the next step is clearing out your browser's cookies and other tracking data.
